TB-500

Tendon, ligament, sports injuries

Long popular in equine sports medicine and increasingly used for working and sport dogs. The active fragment of Thymosin Beta-4 — a protein already present in your dog's body.

In Plain English

When a dog tears a ligament or strains a muscle, the body sends Thymosin Beta-4 to the injury to recruit repair cells. TB-500 is the research version of that signal. Often paired with BPC-157.
